À L'aise was founded in London in 2015 by Suzie; born out of her fascination with high quality paper and design. She set about creating a minimalist luxury stationery and leather goods brand, with a focus on timeless design and an emphasis on quality.

Specialist craftsmen in Northamptonshire, using the highest quality vegetable-tanned leathers, construct all of our leather goods by hand. Each piece is then hand finished at our studio in London before being placed into an ebony box with brass wire stitching.

I wanted to take a moment to talk about our calligraphy workshops. We host workshops every week in London and travel around the U.K. to host workshops at other select locations. So, if you have ever fancied yourself as a budding calligrapher why not head over to our calligraphy workshop section to book tickets for one of our upcoming events.

Workshops are hosted and taught by À L’aise’s owner and calligraphy expert Suzie. The two and half hour workshop gets you to grips with writing with a flexible nib and onto creating beautiful modern lettering. As well as learning many tips and tricks you also get to keep all of the kit so you can continue on with your new hobby at home.

À L’aise recently exhibited at Design Junction held in Kings Cross. The show gathered together studios, makers and designers to showcase their work and it was a joy to be part of such an incredible mix of people. Not only did we manage to talk to loads of you guys about all things stationery, we also chatted with some incredible shops and have some very exciting new stockists to announce very soon.

It was great to meet and talk with other makers and designers like the incredible London based jewellery designer Sarah Straussberg and knitwear designers Jules Hogan who creates beautiful scarves and knitwear in a beautifully subtle colour palette. Check out their work!
